KO artists without a big punch

i'd say aaron pryor fits in here. 89% KO rate and not really a huge puncher

 

Haye's one of the hardest punchers in boxing today. His right hand is like a lesson from jesus.

 

Jesus KO1 Barrett

 

what he means is Vitali doesnt have that one big punch that ends it all, like that one finishing punch, like Joe Frazier's left hook

 

Err, quite a few people mentioned Miranda on the best P4P puncher thread. They were completely wrong, but they still did it. Same for Randall Bailey.

 

The problem with Vitali is he is an arm puncher. Just leverages those long arms in from all kinds of angles but never gets his body behind it. Hence the lack of power.

 

...Obviously.

 

He's 1-1 in fights where we can be relatively sure he didn't cheat. Of those two fights, he lost one by brutal, devastating knockout, and won the other by a ten round decision in an extremely low profile fight.

If Rockgloves actually belonged in a "KO artist" thread, you'd expect his percentage to be higher in pre-Mosley fights, particularly given advantages he may have had in them.

 

Vitali doesnt seem to hit very hard at all, especially in reent years. In face, a lot of his punches look like arm punches, its the accumilation that gives him his massive ko ratio.

 

I couldn't really understand the logic how could someone be a KO artist... without a punch... then Hasegawa came up so there you have it! :deal

 

correct. he does arm punch. Dont be fooled though.... he has good power just not "1 punch KO power"

 

Katsidis

 

Hasegawa is a strange case, looking at his record he is light hitting, but his recent wins have been by stoppage and he's produced some eye-catching one-punch KOs in that time. It seems his power didn't develop until much later in his career.

 

tony zale didn't find his punch til well into his career to
